Hold On I Still Need You

Sebastian's POV

I am walking home talking on the phone with my dad. "Yes dad. Everything is perfectly fine here in Central City. No uncle Harrison doesn't know I am Sebastian Smythe. He knows me as Barry Allen. Yes dad I love you and pops to. Of curse you can come this weekend. Thad will be delighted. No you won't stress him out to much. Yes I am sure. Dad he lives with me who has a mental breakdown every hour. Gee thanks pops. See you this weekend. Love you guys- Oh god!" I drop the phone and run to his side when I walk into the penthouse. Thad's been shot. I check for a pulse and find a weak one. His phone is closest and I grab it and shakily unlock it and call 911 forgetting about my phone. "911 what's your emergency." A lady says. "M-My husband...He's b-been shot!" I say through the tears flowing as I am trying to put pressure on the wound. I put the phone on speaker. "Ok son I need you to tell me your address." She says. "8254 Maple Lane, The Ruppel Penthouse's. Right beside of Star Labs not the other one on the other end. The penthouse on the top floor. It is the only Penthouse up here. Hurry please. He's losing to much blood." I cry out. "Ok son I need you to put pressure on the wound." She says. "I already am! The blood flow is to strong! I can't stop it!" I yell. "Ok ok breath kid. Everything will be alright. Is the front door unlocked." She asks. "Yes! I never shut it behind me!" I say checking for a pulse. "Can you tell me his name and yours sweetheart." She asks. "His name is Thad, Thad Nicolas Smythe, my name is Sebastian, Sebastian Samuel Smythe." I choke out. I feel Thad squeeze my arm and his eyes flutter open. Thad's phone dies. Dammit. "I don't wanna die..." Thad mutters. I look at him and give him a weak comforting smile. "You won't baby. I promise." I say putting more pressure making him wince. The blood flow seems to be slowing. "Hey Alexa, call Caitlin!" I call out to the AI. It starts ringing. Thad's eyes are closing. "Hey try and stay awake for me ok. Or else our band of losers will be down one." I say smiling. He looks at me and chuckles. "There not losers." He says. "Stay awake or I'll keep insulting them." I say. "You love them." He mutters. Caitlin picks up. "Hello." She says in her normal cheery voice. "Caitlin, odd question! How do you keep someone awake when injured!" I call out. "I normally slap you when you don't try. When you do try I still pretty much slap you or threaten to stab you again." She says. I look down at Thad who is looking back up at me. "Slap me I will murder you." He says. I have to keep from snorting at the comment. "Okay is there any other ways!" I call out again. "I haven't tried any other ways so I don't know. Normally you cooperate when I slap you. Who are we talking about doing this for." She says. I glance at Thad who shrugs. "Umm nobody! Oh the paramedics are here! By Caitlin!" I call out and Alexa hangs up. The paramedics run in. I step back so they can get to Thad. "Son are you injured." A cop who was on the scene asks. I notice my condition. I shake my head yes not being able to form full sentences anymore. The adrenaline is wearing off and you can tell. "We need you to stay back for a little bit and tell us what happened." Singh says. I nod and let go of Thad's hand reluctantly. He glances at me. "I'll meet you at the hospital okay." I say. His eyes slide shut as they wheel him away. Caitlin and Cisco run in very concerned. "You two...." An officer says but Singh cuts him off. "They know not to touch anything. They are here for Barry." He orders. He motions Cait and Cisco over. "IS there somewhere more private we can talk." Eddie says. "Y-Yeah, follow me." I say leading them to my office. I set down in the chair as they shut the door. "What happened Barry." Joe asks. "I-I don't know. All I know is that I walked in on him laying on the floor bleeding from gunshot wounds and telling me he was afraid to die. I remember the his phone dying dead middle of the 911 operator trying to tell me what to do." I whisper. "Then you called me asking how to keep a person awake." Cait says. "Bingo." I say. There is a knock on the door and officer Lanning opens is. "Sir, nothing appears to be stolen. But when your done with Allen we would like to let him check over and make sure. We know it may be hard but we may need him to go over the scene. The rookie CSI's can't make any sense from what they are finding but they are only in training still." He says. I am fiddling with my wedding band when Caitlin grabs my hand in a form of comfort. "I know that look Barry. Your hiding something, something of which you carry a lot of blame for." She says. "You know me to well Caitlin." I say chuckling. I spin around in the chair not letting go of her hand. She is grounding me to reality right now. I reach over onto my drawer where I keep my pain killers Caitlin keeps and take one. "What don't give me that look. I have a splitting headache that I need gone so I can mentally prepare myself to go into the hospital. I just wish we could have him at Star Labs but life can't always be in my favor." I say muttering the last part. Lanning left the room a moment ago. "What is wrong. Caitlin is right. Your hiding something." Eddie says. "I have a gut wrenching I am the whole reason for him being hurt. If I am correct then I broke a very big promise." I say. "Do you think you can handle looking over the scene Barry." Singh says. "Yeah. I'm as ready as I'll ever be." I say standing up. I glance at Caitlin who gives me a warm smile. I look at my godfather who rolls his eyes. "He isn't dead. Think how affected he would be if you did." He says. I walk out ignoring Joe's questioning look and put on plastic gloves. I walk over to where the blood is and see 3 of the 9 bullets. "I'd say this was done by a hand gun and not a machine gun or shot gun. If it was a shot gun shot there would have been more bullets to be a through and through shot. For one it would have been pellets if it was a shot gun. They all would have been a through and through shot because think. For the cluster to be that close together the unsub would have had to have been at least 3 feet from Thad. But the force would have been to strong right up close to Thad. Thad's shirt also would have had burn marks from how fast the bullets were traveling and that close to him. It didn't. When he was laying here, his body was lined up right there. He was on his side from there and the blood pool was beside him so when I rolled him over the blood pooled more so all the way around him. So He would have had to be standing about.....here...." I say lining myself up to where he would have been standing. "How did you know all that from just looking at the blood." One of the trainees says. I chuckle. "Kid I started college at 14 and finished my CSI courses at 18. So I am 26. So I have been at this roughly 8 years I would say." I say. "Oh." She says. I am confused myself. "But if he was standing here how did the gunshots...." I say tilting my head. "What is it Allen." Singh says. "There had to have been at least 3 assailants. I remember being confused when I scanned over his body. There was 3 entrance wounds each on his side, back, and stomach and chest area. One assailant couldn't have done that. These bullets are also different." I mutter picking one up with a pair of tweezers from the box of stuff we bring to crime scenes. "He you two come here. Why not teach you a little something at a real crime scene. Don't really like that it is in my home but hey." I say. The two girls walk over. "See the indentions into this bullet." I say. "Yeah. Maybe the gun backfired." She says. "No. Every gun barrel will leave a mark on every bullet. Like I bet you ten to one that two of the other bullets that they are probably removing by now are identical to this one. But the others, they are both different from this one. Signifying that there was 3 assailants. Every gun barrel will leave it's own print if you want to say. I myself call it the guns fingerprint. Now we have to have the guns to test to see if it leaves the same marks." I explain showing them. I notice Joe and Singh talking to an officer. "If your talking about whether anything in this house is valuable enough to be stolen then yes. But if my calculations were correct they weren't looking for anything. They may have been but they wouldn't know where it was." I say. "They never taught us that in college." Maddie says. "They won't. They didn't me either. Don't feel bad. I had to learn that my college just wanted to fail students explaining why I switched in the middle of the year to a better one. As our class that day we went and visited a crime scene and the CSI on the scene taught us more in an hour than our teachers had in the past 2 years." I say. I walk over to the window. "What is it this time Einstein. That is just what I'm gonna call you from here on out." He says. I look at the window which is smudged with hand prints. Ungloved hand prints. "This window right hear opens. On the outside is a fire escape just in case. That is how they got out, they shut the window behind them thinking nobody would notice." I whisper. But for them to get out... Ok I am confused again. "But they... Ok fuck it! Who the hell in here can explain this! Because I can't make no sense of any of this!" I exclaim in frustration. "Go home and..." An officer goes to say but I snap. "Oh I would love to go home and go to sleep and pretend none of this happened! But I can't! I physically can't! Because my home is currently a crime scene! I am about to fucking snap because to analyze everything I picture the scene! When I picture the scene I have to picture the victim! The victim just so happens to be my husband! I can't! I need a minute, I'll be back!" I exclaim taking the plastic gloves off and walking off to the bedroom. I open the balcony doors and step out onto the balcony as I let the tears flow. I feel two pairs of arms wrap around me and know it is Cisco and Caitlin. "The doors are shut, they can't hear us in there. Tell us what really happened Barr." Cisco says. "Hydra happened!" I exclaim as I slide down the balcony railing and onto the floor. "Hydra. Hydra as in the Hydra." Caitlin says setting beside me. Cisco sets but hits with a thump. "Ow." He says and I snort. "Yep. The Hydra. The Hydra that kidnapped me for 2 years and used me as a lab rat and test subject. The Hydra that traumatized me beyond belief. The Hydra that destroyed my life." I say. "Why did they attack Thad though. He done nothing to them." Cisco says. "He has probably been stubborn and threatened them, or tried to keep them away from me..." I get cut off by yelling going on inside. "Where the hell is he West!" I hear a familiar voice yell. Caitlin snorts. "And the snixx has arrived. Go Barry. Before she kills them." Cait says. I chuckle and stand up and walk into the house and head into the living area and see Santana yelling at Joe. "Calm down Snixx. I'm ok. If your first thought was Hydra when you heard your correct. Do me a favor and go to the hospital. I have no idea how long I will be here. Thad doesn't like waking up alone. So please go and stay with him until I can make it there." I say. She turns and looks me up and down. "Ok your crying. That is a good thing. Thank god you didn't do what I think you did." She mutters. "Got it. Hospital. Going to hospital." She says turning around and walking out. I walk over and stop her and slip her my coat, which has my hand gun wrapped up in it. She notices it. Nobody else does though and just thinks it is a jacket. "Just in case." I say. She nods and takes it and heads out. Singh pulls me aside. "What did you just give her." He whispers. I jerk my arm from his grip. "None of you concern. Just protecting the ones I loved. Go to the internet and search up the names Hydra, and Sebastian Smythe. You'll figure out the connection. Then run a little background check on Barry Allen deeper than his college. Then run a track record on Sebastian Smythe. See if you can find all the connections between those three names. When you find the connection go into my computer in the lab and go to www.antib.sanor.com and when you do it will take you to a normal webpage and on it will have an anti bullying picture on the page. On it will be a login code. On my desk drawer, taped to the bottom of the drawer, is a card, like a credit card taped to the bottom. But you need to take it and dip it in cold water. It will give you the log in information. I will have this evidence sent to the lab. I want you to find the file once you get logged in called Hydra-SS. That is what it is labeled as. It will be in the Hydra folder that appears when you first access the website. When you log in don't be alarmed. The computer will shut itself down and restart. It will have everything you need on it. When you click on the file in Hydra, and I want you to make sure it is labeled Hydra-SS, I want you to call the phone number listed on the bottom. Get access to the case and two armed men will bring the case to you. Let the two rookies analyze the evidence in Hydra-SS and this case. Now I just recorded all of those instructions on this tape. Make sure to restart the computer when your done. Because if someone got into that they could have access to everything they would need to destroy America." I whisper into his ear handing him the tape recorder. I smirk. "Solve the case detective." I say walking into the bedroom. Caitlin follows me. "Cait do you think I could crash at your place for awhile. It isn't like Thad will be out of the hospital anytime soon. Santana has an actual job and life to get to. I mean no offense but you don't have a life. Neither do I. Your talking to the one who spends their days off on the bed wrapped up in blankets normally with my husband on me asleep. The company of Netflix called me last night asking me if I have a life." I say. I am literally not kidding. It is sad. Caitlin cracks up as she falls down onto my bed onto her back. "Of course you can come stay with me. You and Thad are both more than welcome to come stay with me while he recovers. I'm lonely as hell ok. I don't have a life other than Star Labs which is pretty much helping you." She says. "Oh yeah I was talking to Thad about that the other afternoon during lunch. We don't have a use for all of our spare bedrooms in this penthouse. Even when all of our entire family comes which is conjoined now between Thad's and mine, we still don't use up all of our spare bedrooms. I mean each penthouse is like 3 stories in this building. We don't need that much room. So we know that your lonely. So how about you come and live with us. You can decorate your room however you would like." I say. "I'll think about it. So what's for dinner tonight." She says. I snort. "Hell if I know. Santana messaged me a moment ago telling me that Thad is in a coma. The surgery to remove the bullets went fine. I don't know if I can go see him like that yet. So uh I figured I would go tomorrow. They have no idea when he will wake up. It could be days, weeks, months, years. They said the damage was really bad. He may have brain damage from the blood loss. Apparently he had a stroke in the ambulance. It was a bad one. Because he showed no signs of having a stroke until it just hit at once. Then he seized during surgery." I say. She sets up. "Cisco left because Dr. Wells needed him and me but I just flat out told the man no. You need me. And I want to say. If you want to go see Thad, but don't think you can do it alone. I'll come with you. Then you'll have me and Santana by your side." She says. "Ok." I say. "Ok but first, I am taking you back to my place to shower, clean yourself up, and then we will get coffee and go. But I will help you get some stuff together." She says.

Caitlin's POV

He reaches me a bag. "I'll get you some clothes." I say. I walk over and into his walk in closet. "Ok whose side is who's." I ask. "Me and Thad have separate closets. Your in mine." He says. Damn they do have way to much room. I see a blue blazer. Oh please tell me this is what I think it is. I walk over and look at it. It is his Dalton Blazer. I message my brother Kurt on when the reunion is. It is in 2 days. I may be able to get him to go. I hear the shower turn on. Now I know why he had some sweats and a t-shirt. Understandable. I shut the closet door and call Kurt. "Hey Caitlin what's up." He answers. "Oh nothing." I say. "Why were you asking about the reunion." He asks. I giggle. "I have a plan. I need to cheer up a snarky ass Warbler. Something happened. Promise me you won't tell anyone." I say. "Promise. What happened." Him and Blaine say at the same time. I roll my eyes. "Hi Blaine. So as I was saying something happened. It is still unclear the whole story, but Thad was hurt really bad. He is in a coma at the hospital. No idea when he will wake up. Santana is there right now. I am taking Bas there this evening. He is in the shower right now. But I have a plan to try and cheer him up. At least get him to let loose on the night of the reunion. So after the lightning and all he got his fast metabolism. But I made a drink for him to get drunk. So I figured, after the reunion that night we all four go to a bar. He is holding something back. I plan on getting it out of him, and if getting him drunk is the solution I will get him drunk one way or another. Sound like a plan. K. You two are close to him, what the hell is his favorite type of coffee. He is gonna be staying with me and I need to know how he makes his coffee." I ask. "Iced mocha latte, two shots of vanilla creamer, and 3 shots of Courvoisier." Blaine rattles off. I am a little taken back. "What. Who do you think my emotional support buddy was when me and Kurt fought or I just didn't want to talk to Kurt about certain things. We normally went to Lima Bean in high school and Jitters." He says. I hang up.

**Fast forward 7 months**

Barry's POV

So I am in the lab when Santana calls me. "You need to get to the hospital now." She says and with that she hangs up. I grab my bag and head out. Ignoring everyone's calls after me. I run to the hospital. "Ah Mr. Smythe, there you are. Follow me." Amaya says. She leads me back to a different room. "But wasn't that his room..." I say confused. "That room is for patients in coma's, critical condition, or awaiting surgery. Your husband is in none of those." She says and my eyes widen as she leads me to the 7th floor and into a room where Thad is setting there bickering with Santana about something. The nurse leaves shutting the door behind her. "That was fast even for you speedy." Santana says looking me up and down. I glare at her. "Well when you call someone sounding panicked telling them to get to the hospital now and with that ending the call, then of course I got here fast." I say. "Well I didn't know if you would come if I told you to get here that they needed you." She argues back. I set in the chair beside Thad's bed and he takes my hand. "Good to see you awake again." I say. He smiles. "Now you know how I felt when you were in a coma." He says. I chuckle. "Yeah I do." I say. Out of the window I see blue lightning zipping through the streets. "The hell..." Thad mutters. "Should you go after it..." Santana says. I kiss Thad and run out. Sothere is the story of pretty much what happened. We skipped a few months because those were ruff.
